I heard W&L was rather conservative. Could just be the student pop., though.

anyone who asks people to try and rank 25 schools based on this criterion is roughly as useful to society as those who will doubtless spend time responding

Re: Rank the T25 -- Most liberal to most conservative
I don't think anyone has the information to be able to provide a ranking like this. It'd probably be more beneficial and reliable if people just stated what they thought were the more liberal/more conservative schools within the T25.

Re: Rank the T25 -- Most liberal to most conservative
I know for a fact that Michigan should be much higher in this list. I went there for early undergrad and Ann Arbor in general is one of the most liberal towns around. The school has a hash bash every year on 4/20? I know of few student bodies more liberal than the one at U of M.LucasHumble wrote:I'll bite.

the problem is that you have heard no such thing

Re: Rank the T25 -- Most liberal to most conservative
I think she meant UT - Austin is pretty liberal, just as the city there is. My theory about the region is that the University's liberals have an effect on the surrounding area, turning Austin into a pool of blue. About a tenth of the city's residents are University students or staff when it's in session and town-gown relations are spectacular.
Conservatism in Texas is rather unique for the south, owing to the state's strong oil economy and nature as a boom town. Lots of entrepreneurs moved to Texas these past fifty years and made big money while mostly ignoring religion, ethics, and politics and they'll throw their lot in with any party that lowers their taxes. Compared to Texas, the economies of most conservative states is extremely weak and culture is much more important to their brand of conservatism than Texas.
Since academia is more or less divorced from the industrial economy, the University is more or less separated from the central pillar of Texas conservatism.

Re: Rank the T25 -- Most liberal to most conservative
I'd agree that Texas is less conservative than the rest of the south, if that's your point. And it's also booming in a way that attracts people from across the country, rather than scrounging by with the same old populace.
It's still way too conservative for me, but it's not Alabama.

Absolutely ridiculous. Texas is extremely culturally/socially conservative. Obviously, Austin is much less so.Snooker wrote:

Re: Rank the T25 -- Most liberal to most conservative
These conservative and liberal threads seem to be useless...I would venture to say that all noteworthy law schools like all higher education institutions are made up of majority liberal faculty (democrats) and liberal students (democrats) so in essence what you all are doing is a ranking of most to least liberal....whenever liberty university law school makes it to the top 30 I will give this notion of conservative v. liberal some validity...

USC should be one of the 5 most conservative, not one of the 5 most liberal.
